some of the volunteers out here and then headed out with one of the first search parties this morning. he didn't want to go on camera or talk about why he was out here, didn't want the focus to be on him, he said. he said he just wanted to volunteer. we did ask some of the other volunteers in line why they wanted to help. >> i'm a teacher. i have students. i don't have any children myself, but if i, you know, lost a child, i would want to, you know, find out what happened. >> i have a daughter and i would want the same for my daughter. >> reporter: now, 750 people signed up to help volunteer yesterday, the largest group of volunteers since this search effort started. a large group of searchers focused in the field where a box labeled handcuffs and two used condoms were found. at this point, investigators don't know if they are in connection with the sierra lamar disappearance. back out to search headquarters, this is day five of the search

of trouble morning. gusting to 29 miles per hour near the bay bridge this morning, and near the richmond san rafael, gusting to 24. it's a southerly breeze coming in this way, so it is going to be hitting against your car as you cross the bridges. delays at sfo reported this morning. if you have somebody arriving, make sure you check for that. and we have advisories from the coast through the solano county area to the sierra. we'll take a look, coming up in a bit. as rosemary mentioned, the wet weather is causing problems for air travelers this morning. we just checked in with the bay area airports. sfo is reporting delays of up to 2 hours. oakland has a few delays. in about 30 minutes, first lady michelle obama will be at coastguard island in alameda. we want to show you a live picture where you can see the attendees are getting ready. if you take a look at the umbrellas and the rain ponchos blowing in the wind, they are not getting great weather for this event. the focus of the ceremony will

be the coast gart cutter. coming up in 15 minutes, we'll have a live report and how the weather is impacting t. three people will share the record-setting $640 million mega millions jackpot. one winning ticket came from red bud, illinois, another was sold in baltimore county, maryland, the third in kansas. want to give you a look at those winning numbers for $640 million. there they are. 2-4-23-38-46, and the mega ball, 23. each of those winning tickets expected to be worth more than $213 million, of course before taxes. well, 29 californians did get the first five numbers right. so they will earn a pretty cool consolation prize. how does $130,000 sound? the bay area winners bought their tickets at fox liquors on larkin street in san francisco, 7-eleven on blossom hill road in san jose, al's food & liquor in san rafael, liquor, tobacco and moore in sunnyvale and the fast

& easy mart on arden wood boulevard in fremont. well, hundreds of hopefuls waited in line to buy their tickets from one store in particular. cavanagh's liquor in san lorenzo. that store has a history of delivering big lottery winners. there were still many people in line when the 7:45 p.m. deadline came and went yesterday. and how about these lines? this is from a store near nevada. nevada doesn't participate in the mega millions lottery, so those thousands of nevada residents had to cross the state line to play mega millions. many of them lined up at the prim valley casino resorts lotto store in fernandina county, the closest place to vegas that sells lotto tickets. more than 1200 people lined up before 9:00 a.m. yesterday and waited several hours to buy their tickets. in overnight news, a small fire is set in a downtown oakland street. a group of people, many of them

violence cannot be tolerated. earlier this month, sheriff mirkarimi pleaded guilty to misdemeanor false imprisonment, after allegedly bruising his wife's arm. since then, the mayor has suspended mirkarimi without pay. the board of supervisors will decide if the sheriff stays or goes. california's high speed rail project support has dropped significantly, down now to $68.4 billion. that may sound like a lot, but that's actually 30 billion less than what was stated in a draft plan released last fall. the new plan will rely on a high speed line from merced to san fernando valley with connections to improve tracks in the bay area and los angeles. storm tracker working overtime this morning, coming down pretty good at times. the north bay seeing light rain by sunrise this morning, the front was here.

commissioning ceremony for the u.s. coastguard cutter stratton. how people will be able to stay dry and still watch. for me, it's really about building this extraordinary community. american express is passionate about the same thing. they're one of those partners that i would really rely on whether it's finding new customers, or, a new location for my next restaurant.

when we all come together, my restaurants, my partners, and the community amazing things happen. to me, that's the membership effect.
